The Villa Romana del Casale, located in Piazza Armerina in Sicily, constitutes a super-excellent example of a luxury late-imperial Roman villa. This archaeological structure has an emblematic significance in the context of the use of Roman territory as the fulcrum of the rural economy in the Western Empire. Noted for its artistic affluence and the superb quality of its mosaics dating back to the 4th century AD, it is universally recognized as the place where such in situ Roman mosaics reach their peak. This extraordinary mosaic heritage offers invaluable testimony to the habits of the Roman ruling class and the cultural dynamics between the Roman world and North Africa. With a total of 48 rooms, occupying an area of approximately 3,500 square meters, all adorned with mosaics of extraordinary mastery, presumably executed by skilled African artisans, it allows a deep immersion in the history of the Roman Empire through representations of daily life, heroic figures , deities, hunting scenes and games. The Villa del Casale therefore represents a fundamental document for the understanding of Roman life and civilization, with its impeccable conservation of the spaces and mosaics which constitute an unsurpassed fresco. Despite subsequent phases of habitation, including the Byzantine and early medieval periods (5th-7th centuries) and the Arab-Norman period (10th-12th centuries), followed by destruction and floods, the Roman complex was ultimately abandoned. However, it is thanks to the natural covering that has preserved many parts of the building that today we enjoy the extraordinary integrity of its mosaics.
